OWNAGE.

Play this instead of boring SpeedMetal games... Average playing time 15mins.

Good for 8-12 way FFA or 8v8 teams if you wanna see chaincomexplosions :D.

Never know who wins. You might own for a while, but then you get combombed or something x)

Disable units armap armguard armhlt armsnipe corap corhlt corpun for better gameplay.
Com ends, unlimited dgun, 2k/2k resources, random starting positions, are good settings.

Gameplay tips:
1) Vehicles are good.
2) Build nanotowers as much as possible.
3) SPAM.

I hate speedmetal concept, but this at least is the best thing you can do with it. If you could make ships and the edges of the circle went smoothly into the sea for aphib/ship bombardment it might be doing the very most you can with SM... which still isnt much

Speedmetal is underrated

Its not even worth a review.

I didnt came here to ask reviews or anything, just spammed this map here so you can download it and play if you want.

Its pretty popular now. Played like 40 games today on it with 12 players.
And yes, i dont have life.

It's pretty fun for an occasional quick silly game where you still use most units. I like it.

yep, that's definitely speed metal in a circle

Because it isnt a very long choke point there're now all sorts of new strategies available. Skill has in some semblance returned.

Still though, this style of map isnt the best, and normal maps can give better gameplay, but this is good for quick fun.

Make a hole in middle and call it "speed donut"! :)

Im not really going to play it, but nice that someone tried to do a speedmetal style map worth playing... too bad that trying something impossible doesnt makes it become possible... :)
